THE DAUGHTERS OF CAIN

Is Colin Dexter growing tired of his often slightly intoxicated, but always mentally stimulating, detective, Inspector Morse? In this latest Oxford murder investigation the chief inspector might likely be called Inspector Morose. Frederick Davidson captures perfectly the inspector’s soul, as well as delivering excellent portrayals of the jaunty Sergeant Lewis, the vicious Ted Brooks and a host of suspects. Davidson, a favorite reader at Blackstone, has found his metier in the dramatization of Dexter’s contemplative detective stories. This one is excellent and is ideal on audio. Inspector Morse fans, take heart. The liver may be failing, but the brain is still going strong. D.L.G. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: NOV 95]
